Ring Of Daggers – Pre-Publication Announcement
We are pleased to announce the forthcoming publication of our first novel, Ring Of Daggers.
This is a full-length, 400+ page story, which features David Nelson, a maths teacher from a little-known boarding school in the north-west of England.
David finds a strange and ancient artefact while in Paris, which leads him on a dangerous quest to try to solve the mystery of the Doomsday Calendar and prevent a disaster of epic proportions.
Those of you who know that one of our earlier publications is on the subject of Magic Squares won’t be surprised to learn that magic squares feature in this novel too – but that’s all we’ll say for now.
What we can tell you is that Ring Of Daggers includes:
- globe-trotting
- adventure
- murder
- mystery
- centuries-old legend
- and a bit of romance, for good measure.
The book will be available shortly (our target date is mid-February, all being well), from suppliers such as Amazon.com, so if you would like to be notified as soon as it’s available, then you can either subscribe to our RSS feed, or sign up to our R&M Publishing Newsletter (see the subscription form, to the right, although there is a similar form on the Ring Of Daggers website too).
The Daily Goal Machine
If you are the sort of person that struggles to get things done, or suffers from procrastination, then it’s not your fault!
Life today is full of distractions, both online and offline – email, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, television, mobile/cell phones – and they all clamour for your attention, every hour of the day.
And no matter how determined you are to get your work done, we know that it’s really hard to ignore that flashing little email icon, for example.
The good news is that there is a solution, and it’s actually very a simple one too.
People who’ve worked as project managers should already be aware of it, although they don’t all apply it for all sorts of reasons.
What’s it called?
Time boxing.
Two words that fail to do justice to the genius of the technique, which leverages the psychological programming that is already firmly embedded in your brain, and which, when correctly used, will enable you to focus 100% on whatever you want to achieve.
There are two main ways you can implement time boxing – manually, and through software.
The manual way works, but it’s laborious to use consistently, while the software solution makes the whole process a lot easier – and that, in turn, means you’re more likely to apply it on a daily basis.
If you want to find out how you can be more productive, get more stuff done, and finally beat procrastination, then you need to check out The Daily Goal Machine now. You’ll wonder how you ever got by without it!
Note: The Daily Goal Machine only runs on Windows computers. If you are a Mac user, you should check out The Action Machine instead.
Magic Squares
Magic squares are little-known mathematical curiosities that date back a lot further than you might imagine – as far back as 2,800 BC, in fact!
Since then, they have exerted a great deal of fascination, and help to illustrate the natural beauty of numbers and their close relationship with nature.
Their semi-mystical construction has made them ripe for use within magic too, and we include both the black arts as well as the world of conjuring.
And in the East, they have been used for centuries as a divination tool, in the guise of the Yantra.
Magic Squares pulls all of this information together in one handy reference book, which covers their history, how to construct them, detailed analyses of various types of magic square, many variations on the magic squares theme, presentations and routines that make use of their unique properties, a thorough bibliography of the subject, as well as many appendices that provide additional information.
The book was first written as an “entrance examination” for The Magic Circle, maybe the most famous magic club in the world, for which it received high praise, and since then, it has been made available to magicians and mathematicians the world over.
| “… a significant addition to the literature of magic squares” (Eddie Dawes, M.I.M.C., in The Magic Circular) |
If you want to delve into the mystery of magic squares, then this Magic Squares book is the one you need.
